Re: REFRACTION - REFLECTION (errata)

Oops!  Upon rereading what I posted yesterday about 'REFRACTION - REFLECTION'
it seems that I have made a couple of typos that might be confusing to
anyone seriously trying to follow what I was saying.  I thought that I ought
to post the corrections on the outside chance that anyone actually was trying
to follow the explanation.  About 12 lines into my explanation (paragraph
starting with the word 'Consider') I wrote:

> This means that:
> ((k'_1)^2 + (k''_2)^2)/(n_1)^2 = ((k'_2)^2 + (k''_2)^2)/(n_2)^2 .  ...
              ^^^^^ 
It should read k''_1 here.

Also at the beginning of the next paragraph I wrote:

> Suppose that n_1 > n_2 so that the wave is going from a lower index region
> (1) into a higher index region (2).  In this case ....

This is switched from what I had wanted to say.  This sentence should read:

> Suppose that n_1 > n_2 so that the wave is going from a HIGHER index region
> (1) into a LOWER index region (2).  In this case ....

I hope that these exhaust the typos in that post, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

Sorry about being so poor at proofreading.
